Chapter 20: Thirty-Three Star Platform!

  When Tang Lin opened his eyes again, in front of him was a completely different space. The sky was a deep purple, with countless stars twinkling like diamonds, shining brightly and romantically. He stood on a huge white jade stone plaza that seemed to stretch on forever, with a faint white mist swirling around him.

  The figure of the red-robed owner appeared beside him, smiling lightly and saying: "This is the Star Pavilion, follow me."

  Tang Lin followed behind him.

  The red-robed owner walked all the way to the end of the square, in front of Tang Lin was a towering purple building that seemed to touch the sky, its eaves and tiles were exquisite, with wind chimes hanging under the eaves, swaying in the air.

  Tang Lin's eyes widened in surprise.

  Such a magnificent building, how can it be built by human power?

  "This Star Pavilion has a total of ninety-nine floors, and the owner usually lives on the top floor to observe the celestial phenomena and comprehend the heavenly secrets. The other floors have different purposes." The red-robed pavilion master smiled lightly and said, "After this day, you will understand in time."

  Tang Lin was shocked in his heart.

  A ninety-nine story building? Unbelievable!

  The owner of the building actually lives on the top floor, sensing the heavenly machine?

  "You usually practice in another place." The Red Building Master took Tang Lin and bypassed the Star Pavilion, only to see a vast white square behind the Star Pavilion, with no end in sight. On the horizon, however, there was a purple glow.

  This purple dazzling light is as intense as the sun, emitting a stunning glow.

  "These are the fallen stars from heaven, containing rich star power, capable of tempering the body." The Red Building Master raised his hand and pointed, saying: "Your cultivation place is on these star platforms."

  Tang Lin looked up and immediately felt suffocated.

  All that can be seen is in the midst of the blue sky, suspended with a dozen or so stone pedestals, each about ten feet in diameter. Each pedestal is engraved with inscriptions, and these pedestals float in mid-air, like a long snake, facing towards that purple, dazzling star.

  "There are thirty-two people in the Star Pavilion, and now with you added, there are thirty-three. Yesterday, the master of the pavilion had already forged a star platform for you to use, it's right over there." He said, pointing towards the last one among the thirty-three star platforms.

  Tang Lin looked at it and exclaimed, "Why is my Star Platform placed last? The closer we get to the purple star fragment, the more star power we should receive, right?"

  The red-robed pavilion master smiled and said, "Very clever, you're absolutely right. However, if you want to obtain a star stage in the front row, you'll need to go duel those who own the star stages. If you win the duel, your star stages will switch positions."

  Tang Lin was dumbfounded.

  To know, this star pavilion is almost all martial gods.

  Let him duel with the God of War?

  Isn't this deceiving oneself?

  "There is no motivation without competition." The Red Building Master smiled and said, "Although you have entered the Star Pavilion, you can't slack off. If in three years, you are challenged by someone from the Seven-Star Building and defeated, then you will leave the Star Pavilion."

  Tang Lin was shocked in his heart, he didn't think that joining the Star Pavilion would have such restrictions.

  "So you're saying that I need to reach the level of Wu Zhe Qi Jing within three years?" Tang Lin looked at the Red Building Master.

  It is worth noting that the Purple Star Building in the Seven-Star Building is all powerful warriors of the Seventh Realm, especially those who can break through the second floor of the Iron Tower Pass, whose strength is comparable to that of a Martial God!

  "That's right." The red-robed master smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to worry too much. In this Star Pavilion, the spiritual energy is rich, and with the power of the stars to cultivate, even if you eat and sleep every day, in three years' time, it will still allow you to advance two more realms! If you work hard at cultivating, reaching the Seventh Realm of Martial Arts won't be difficult."

  Tang Lin was taken aback for a moment, and immediately urged the true energy in his body to perceive the surroundings. Suddenly, he discovered that the richness of the spiritual energy in the air here was almost ten times that of the outside world! In other words, cultivating here for one year would be equivalent to ten years in the outside world!

  "And also, in the Star Pavilion, every six months, there will be a Holy Man's Lectern, where an elder-level Holy Man will explain martial arts to you. This is absolutely a great help for you, and can quickly improve your martial arts realm." The Red Building Master said with a smile.

  Tang Lin's heart was seething with anger.

  No wonder all the martial gods outside yearn to enter here for cultivation! Not only is there a holy person's podium, but also rich spiritual energy nourishment, it is absolutely a blessed place!

  "Your sister is on the thirty-second star platform." The Red Building Master looked at the suspended thirty-three star platforms and smiled, "When you cultivate to that level, you will be able to see her."

  Tang Lin nodded heavily.

  Then, the Red Building Master took Tang Lin to familiarize himself with the environment here and then took him into the Star Pavilion.

  "This Star Pavilion has ninety-nine floors, the first forty-nine floors are where you live, the person ranked number one on the Star Platform lives on the forty-ninth floor, and the rest follow in sequence. You live on the seventeenth floor." The Red Building Master took Tang Lin to the seventeenth floor.

  "Is this entire floor for me alone?" Tang Lin asked in shock.

  As far as the eye can see.

  This seventeen-story Star Pavilion is vast and unparalleled, with practice rooms, scenic rooms, and so on.

  "Yes." The Red Building Master said to Tang Lin, "Above the 49th floor are some places like the Scripture Pavilion, where there are martial arts secret books. You can go borrow them on ordinary days."

  Tang Lin nodded slightly.

  "No one will teach you how to practice martial arts here, it's all about self-enlightenment. However, if there's anything you don't understand, you can ask during the Holy Man's Platform which is held once every six months." The Red Building Master said: "Our Seven Stars Martial Arts Academy has two core martial arts skills. The first one is 'Seven Stars Sword Manual', and the second one is a body technique manual called 'Endless Starry Sky'."

  "Compared to the Seven Stars Sword Manual, this internal skill martial arts secret book is even more precious. The Seven Stars Sword Manual restricts the use of weapons to only swords! However, the Endless Starry Sky has no such limitations, as long as one's comprehension is sufficient, they can cultivate it."

  Tang Lin listened attentively.

  "The Seven Stars Sword Manual" has a total of nine levels, each level's sword technique is sharp and unstoppable. As long as you learn the seventh level, no one will be able to defeat you except for a saint! On the other hand, the "Endless Starry Sky" manual only has three levels. Although it only has three levels, this manual is our Seven Stars Martial Hall's treasure!

  The Red Building Master's expression was serious as he said: "The 'Endless Starry Sky' manual, just by learning the first level, you can raise your movement technique to a transcendent and saintly realm!"

  Tang Lin was shocked.

  He had just realized the unity of heaven and man, and naturally knew that it was extremely difficult to practice his physical law to the realm of transcending the ordinary and entering the sacred.

  The red-robed master looked at Tang Lin and said, "You've just joined the Star Pavilion, so you can get the cultivation methods for the first three layers of the Seven Stars Sword Manual and the first layer of the Endless Starry Sky. If you want more, you'll need to make contributions to the Martial Academy."

  "What contribution?" Tang Lin looked at him.

  "For example, the Martial Hall may encounter some problems from time to time. If you contribute to the Martial Hall, you will be rewarded with merits. When you accumulate ten major merits, you can exchange them for the fourth layer of sword techniques. When you accumulate one hundred major merits, you can exchange them for the second layer of the "Endless Starry Sky" body technique."

  Tang Lin suddenly came back to his senses.

  "Add oil." The red-haired landlord smiled at Tang Lin and said: "Next time I have a chance, I'll come over to see you again."

  Watching his warm smile, Tang Lin nodded heavily.

  After the red building owner left, Tang Lin returned to his own floor and walked into a spacious hall, where he saw seven or eight houseboys and seven or eight maids standing on both sides.

  "Master." Everyone said in unison with respect.

  Tang Lin was shocked for a moment.

  "Master, we are your slaves. Whatever you need us to do on a daily basis, just give us orders." A middle-aged house servant said respectfully to Tang Lin.

  Tang Lin's heart moved, and he suddenly understood.

  It's also understandable that in daily life, one focuses on practicing martial arts and needs others to help with washing and changing clothes, shoes, and other trivial matters. With these servants and maids, they are happy to have an easy life.

  Tang Lin smiled and greeted everyone together, and they asked each other's names. Then he said to the middle-aged servant, "Master Zhang, take me to the training room."

  This master had never seen such a genius so close to him, he was surprised and respectfully said: "Yes." He immediately led the way for Tang Lin.

  Training room.

  The area here is the largest one, Tang Lin glanced at it and immediately saw that in the practice room, there was a small elliptical room with a silver-white surface like an eggshell.

  "This is the Quenching Chamber." Master Zhang said respectfully.

  Tang Lin's eyes lit up and he immediately walked into this refining room.

  Buzz!

  As soon as the door of the refining room was closed, Tang Lin immediately felt that the spiritual energy in the refining room became rich and crowded towards his body, as if he was in a huge steamer, and these spiritual energies were steam, forcibly squeezed into his body.

  Tang Lin could feel his body undergoing a transformation.

  Although he was standing still, Tang Lin felt his strength gradually increasing.

  "It's really amazing." Tang Lin exclaimed in his heart.

  After waiting for a while in the refining room, Tang Lin thought of going to receive two martial arts secret books and left first. He asked some guards in the building and knew the location of the scripture pavilion.

  Tang Lin directly arrived at the 50th floor of the building.

  All I saw was a huge study in the building, with books packed tightly on the shelves as far as the eye could see.

  Tang Lin relied on his extraordinary eyesight and swept a glance over.

  "Jingang Jing", "Shuǐ Shàng Piāo", "Jīn Zhōng Zhào", "Tiān Dì Xuán Huáng Gōng", "Rì Yuè Shuāng Jiàn", "Huáng Dì Jīng"

  The books in it are surprisingly diverse, not just martial arts manuals, but also some medical secrets.

  Tang Lin's eyes were dazzled and confused.

  Just then, a white-haired old man suddenly appeared in front of Tang Lin, smiling at him and saying: "You're here to receive the 'Seven Stars Sword Manual' and the 'Endless Starry Sky', right?"

  Tang Lin looked at the old man in surprise.

  Just now he blinked his eyes without batting an eyelid, but did not see how this white-haired old man appeared in front of him.

  Tang Lin immediately respectfully said: "Old Master, how did you know I wanted to receive the martial arts secret book?"

  The old man with white hair smiled and said: "Joining the Star Pavilion is a big deal, all your intelligence, all the elders in the Star Pavilion have already taken note of it, naturally they know."

  Tang Lin was startled in his heart and hastily said: "Greetings, elder."
